Currently Playing: Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven On my trip back from Bear Valley last week, I saw the most remarkable sunset I had ever seen. Ripples of cumulus clouds, bright orange with dabs of purple. Half of the sky was lit up. It was amazing. As I squinted into the distance (no, it… Continue reading Untitled

And now, my thoughts on Zelda for the GameCube. If this isn’t a big joke, Zelda has turned into a Saturday morning cartoon, ditching the “epic Link and Ganondorf swordfight” prototype we’ve watched again and again. Sure, Shigeru Miyamoto is a genius, but this is CRAZY! Zelda was never meant to be a kid’s cartoon!… Continue reading Untitled

Thank Yous For This Weekend: Macromedia, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, and of course Microsoft for making my weekend a living hell! Non-stop up to the point that I’m writing this, I’ve been working on the much-aformentioned Flash project, Rupert. I’ve bragged that I’ve been getting paid $40 an hour to make this masterpiece, but I was supposed… Continue reading Untitled

I saw Planet of the Apes last night. After a good night’s rest, and overall having recovered from stuffing my face at the local Fresh Choice all-you-can-eat buffet, I can think clearly about that movie, and how it sucked in so many ways. I haven’t seen the original Planet of the Apes, but from what… Continue reading Untitled

And I’m BACK from a three-day trip to Bear Valley, CA, a Sierra village where we own a vacation home. It looks so very different in the summer – surprisingly, our house is a good five feet taller than it was half a year ago, because all the snow’s melted, revealing an extra staircase to… Continue reading Untitled

You won’t hear from me until Friday, because it’s vacation time to our summer home in Bear Valley with my grandparents. I’d rather not go, of course, but I’ve got nothing better to do. And on Friday it’s a mad rush to finish that frequently-mentioned computer animation project, “Rupert.” Such is life. But here’s the… Continue reading Untitled

WHEE!!!Well, I was visiting the spectacular “clothing-optional” Muir Beach the other day, when I decided to get Caesar-ambitious on its ass and scale some giant rocks that were off-shore. So, after some fearless, careful rock-hopping in waist-deep water (low tide, off course), I arrived at my destination, scaled the damn thing, and reached the top.… Continue reading Untitled

I went to the Gravenstein Apple Fair in Sebastopol today. It was much fun, but even more so, it was very strange… lots of deja vu and past experiences. It’s like I’m going to die soon or something. Signs I’m Going To Die: 6. I almost won a hermit crab today, and in the past… Continue reading Untitled

Quick, look! My dad, Glenn, is on the front page of Sun.com! Although he doesn’t really feel like it, he’s moderating a chat next Thursday at 10 A.M. It’s not an “A/S/L ehe” chat, of course, though. It’s going to be a talk about Trusted Solaris 8, a project my dad practically heads at Sun.… Continue reading Untitled
